'''Belgium''' was among the first countries in the beginning of eRepublik. Belgium's population grew slowly before they agreed to merge with the [[United Kingdom]] in April 2008. In February 2009, 10 months after Belgium merged with the [[United Kingdom]], two resistance wars were launched to free Belgium, the first failed but the next succeeded. It wasn't until the 21st February 2009 before Belgium became a complete independent nation.

Main article: History of Belgium

Belgium was among the first countries in the beginning of eRepublik. Belgium's population grew slowly before they agreed to merge with the United Kingdom in April 2008. In February 2009, 10 months after Belgium merged with the United Kingdom, two resistance wars were launched to free Belgium, the first failed but the next succeeded. It wasn't until the 21st February 2009 before Belgium became a complete independent nation.

Mittekemuis was named Queen of eBelgium on July 4, 2011 by a congress majority[1] and shortly thereafter announced the royals and other nobles of eBelgium in an article Mittekemuis Announcement

The Monarchy was reestablished in January 2014 and Critically was chosen by the eBelgian community as King and confirmed by congress First update
